      O'Reilly, Enya; Gregory, Richard D.; Aunins, Ainars; Brotons, Llúis; Chodkiewicz, Tomasz; Escandell, Virginia; Foppen, Ruud P. B.; Gamero, Anna; Herrando, Sergi; Jiguet, Frédéric; Kålås, John Atle; Kamp, Johannes; Klvanova, Alena; Lehikoinen, Aleksi; Lindström, Åke; Massimino, Dario; Øien, Ingar Jostein; Reif, Jiri; Šilarová, Eva; Teufelbauer, Norbert; Trautmann, Sven; van Turnhout, Chris; Vikstrøm, Thomas; Vorisek, Petr; Butler, Simon J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In order to understand species’ sensitivity to habitat change, we must correctly determine if a species is associated with a habitat or not, and if it is associated, its degree of specialization for that habitat. However, ...
    • Bird population declines and species turnover are changing the acoustic properties of spring soundscapes 

      Morrison, C.A.; Auniņš, A.; Benkő, Z.; Brotons, L.; Chodkiewicz, T.; Chylarecki, P.; Escandell, V.; Eskildsen, D. P.; Gamero, A.; Herrando, S.; Jiguet, F.; Kålås, John Atle; Kamp, J.; Klvaňová, A.; Kmecl, P.; Lehikoinen, A.; Lindström, Åke; Moshøj, C.; Noble, D. G.; Øien, Ingar Jostein; Paquet, J-Y.; Reif, J.; Sattler, T.; Seaman, B. S.; Teufelbauer, N.; Trautmann, S.; van Turnhout, C. A. M.; Vořišek, P.; Butler, S.J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Natural sounds, and bird song in particular, play a key role in building and maintaining our connection with nature, but widespread declines in bird populations mean that the acoustic properties of natural soundscapes may ...
    • Decomposing the spatial and temporal effects of climate on bird populations in northern European mountains 

      Bradter, Ute; Johnston, Alison; Hochachka, Wesley M.; Soultan, Alaaeldin; Brommer, Jon E.; Gaget, Elie; Kålås, John Atle; Lehikoinen, Aleksi; Lindström, Åke; Piirainen, Sirke; Pavòn-Jordàn, Diego; Pärt, Tomas; Øien, Ingar Jostein; Sandercock, Brett (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The relationships between species abundance or occurrence versus spatial variation in climate are commonly used in species distribution models (SDMs) to forecast future distributions. Under “space-for-time-substitution”, ...
    • Effects of satellite transmitters on survival in Snowy Owls Bubo scandiacus 

      Heggøy, Oddvar; Aarvak, Tomas; Øien, Ingar Jostein; Jacobsen, Karl-Otto; Solheim, Roar; Zazelenchuk, Dan; Stoffel, Marten; Kleven, Oddmund (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The use of tracking devices to monitor birds is extensive, but the effects of such instruments on equipped individuals are still insufficiently taken into account. Here we evaluate potential effects of backpack-mounted ...
    • The future distribution of wetland birds breeding in Europe validated against observed changes in distribution 

      Soultan, Alaaeldin; Pavòn-Jordàn, Diego; Bradter, Ute; Sandercock, Brett; Hochachka, Wesley M.; Johnston, Alison; Brommer, Jon; Gaget, Elie; Keller, Verena; Knaus, Peter; Aghababyan, Karen; Maxhuni, Qenan; Vintchevski, Alexandre; Nagy, Károly; Raudonikis, Liutauras; Balmer, Dawn E.; Noble, David; Leitão, Domingos; Øien, Ingar Jostein; Shimmings, Paul; Sultanov, Elchin; Caffrey, Brian; Boyla, Kerem; Radišić, Dimitrije; Lindström, Åke; Velevski, Metodija; Pladevall, Clara; Brotons, Lluis; Karel, Šťastný; Rajković, Draženko Z.; Chodkiewicz, Tomasz; Wilk, Tomasz; Tibor, Szép; van Turnhout, Chris; Foppen, Ruud; Burfield, Ian; Vikstrøm, Thomas; Mazal, Vlatka Dumbović; Eaton, Mark; Vorisek, Petr; Lehikoinen, Aleksi; Herrando, Sergi; Kuzmenko, Tatiana; Bauer, Hans-Günther; Kalyakin, Mikhail; Voltzit, Olga; Sjeničić, Jovica; Pärt, Tomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Wetland bird species have been declining in population size worldwide as climate warming and land-use change affect their suitable habitats. We used species distribution models (SDMs) to predict changes in range dynamics ...
    • Satellite telemetry uncovers important wintering areas for Snowy owls on the Kola peninsula, northwestern Russia 

      Øien, Ingar Jostein; Aarvak, Tomas; Jacobsen, Karl-Otto; Solheim, Roar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      In order to reveal winter movements and wintering areas of snowy owls breeding in Northern Fennoscandia, we conducted a telemetry study by use of battery operated satellite transmitters. Nine battery powered ARGOS satellite ...
    • A Spatial Modeling Framework for Monitoring Surveys with Different Sampling Protocols with a Case Study for Bird Abundance in Mid-Scandinavia 

      Pavòn-Jordàn, Diego; Steinsland, Ingelin; May, Roelof Frans; Stokke, Bård Gunnar; Øien, Ingar Jostein; Sicacha-Parada, Jorge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Quantifying the total number of individuals (abundance) of species is the basis for spatial ecology and biodiversity conservation. Abundance data are mostly collected through professional surveys as part of monitoring ...
